Perfect addition to Slack
What do you like best about the product?
I was looking for a way to quickly assign tasks to the team within the Slack space. This was an awesome option! Once we figured out how to Lync everything and everyone up (lots of testing) it works fabulous!
What do you dislike about the product?
Not the easiest to set up. I wish it had more instructions on how to Lync everyone etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickly able to assign a task that steams from our daily project meetings
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Create test cases when you set up Asana, with one colleague to test how it works, notifications you get etc. Before rolling it out to the rest of the team.
Good for task managing across a team
What do you like best about the product?
It organized and prioritize tasks for my team, everyone could see what needed to be done and in how much time
What do you dislike about the product?
There are other apps that have similar functions such as slack, it’s hard to justify using several apps when one can do all the jobs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It streamlines tasks and for that I really like it. It’s easy to use and understand, I’ve not had any issues with team members not understanding how it works.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Terrific for task managing with a team.
Great individually, almost too powerful for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great for those who use Getting Things Done as a task management methodology. It's also opened up to newer methods such as Kanban.
What do you dislike about the product?
In recent months they've also added in other methods but at the expense of simplicity - it's now harder for new users to just get stuck in. It's also missing one feature from Nirvana - being able to tag a task as 'waiting for' someone else, for when you retain responsibility for a task but are not the next person to act upon it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is my offboard brain - I literally couldn't work without it. It helps me coordinate, prioritise and control my work day.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The free trial allows a good roam around the feature set, but you need to set up at least one other user before you can try it 'for real'. Sharing tasks, notes etc with another user is where Asana shines.
Great tool for project management
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a cost effective platform with a very supportive surface for project management. Projects and departments are easy to handle and set up. Although it lacks certain useful features provided by other software for task management such as JIRA. Asana has a really good optical look and is very well constructed. This works in an easily understandable manner to organize programs, timetables, and assign activities. It offers a good version of the app.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has informal interface and lacks certain reporting features. You can't switch between Kanban and regular view after you've created a project. It's somewhat pricey and may deter smaller enterprises.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps me organize my team and track projects efficiently. It is a very fun, immersive application that motivates the users in a timely manner to complete tasks. Some software may jeopardize the design of an easy-to-use interface, while others may sacrifice the elegance of their app to look vibrant and new. Asana is doing both! Our team makes regular use of Asana.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a nice project management tool and you should give it a try.
Using asana is easy and straightforward.
What do you like best about the product?
I like how intuitive Asana is. It is self-explanatory and requires minimal onboardibg and training of the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how there are too many choices for customization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I’m solving basic project management problems including tracking teammates’ progression.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Assign one project manager to assign and organize tasks in each individual project.
It helps us stay organized, but can sometimes can be frustrating.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the modern design of the web interface and the extensive options for tasks, subtasks, etc. We also benefit from the extensive task features, like subtasks, dependent tasks, and uploading documents within specific tasks. I also enjoy some of the new updates to the inbox feature. For example, now I can filter my inbox to only show updates from tasks assigned to myself. These are good updates!
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features are unintuitive and needlessly time-consuming. For example, when trying to remove dates for multiple tasks at one time you run into problems. Another thing we dislike was the addition of a new pricing tier for new features. It would have been nice to extend the benefits to existing users. Also, adding clients to our projects can be confusing at times, as its hard to control the number of notifications and emails they get initially.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps us keep client projects organized, on-time, and helps us keep team members updated on task progress. With Asana we've been able to make sure that client work doesn't fall through the cracks. We've also been able to easily share files and project updates with our team. Overall, Asana helps us improve team efficiency and communication.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to learn how to use the features under the hood. These can make the difference between it working and not working for your team.
Great Group Collab tool! Worth Trying
What do you like best about the product?
The brilliant UI accommodates a perfect and sorted out approach to add assignments to your rundown, alter undertakings, and check errands off when finished. As I fundamentally utilize this product for business purposes for cooperation with colleagues inside my office, it is a one-stop-shop that has disposed of paper agendas, clingy notes, and schedules, by joining these in a smooth web interface. The convenience brings about regular assignment refreshes which can be seen and remarked on by the whole group, guaranteeing errands are not missed or overlooked. As I am regularly chipping away at numerous ventures all the while consistently, the comfort of adding new undertakings and errands to individual activities is incredibly useful to remain composed, see the majority of the pending assignments, and timetable time likewise dependent on consummation dates you have inputted for each errand. Another extraordinary component is connecting messages to specific activities in Asana; a fast duplicate of the URL for the venture in the stage, and you can without much of a stretch send messages and connections legitimately into Asana for easy recording. As a free programming, Asana is a brilliant apparatus to use for bunch cooperation, or for individual use to ensure you are viably overseeing agenda, undertakings and tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
The significant drawback to Asana utilized in a workplace is that undertakings can't be allocated needs, which can bring about successive registration on the rundown to guarantee you are organizing assignments appropriately. A shading coded need strategy would be amazingly useful in raising high need assignments over the rest. As Asana is a cloud-based programming, idleness can now and then be an issue bringing about a deferral in composing and moving among ventures and errands, however this is just a minor comfort. As a result we settled on another app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have had the option to streamline bunch association and coordinated effort into a solitary source. Asana has kept current arrangements of undertaking related errands, and guarantee colleagues know about, and finishing assignments by the given consummation deadlines. Asana has additionally diminished email mess caused from visit 'to and fro' messages for little remarks between colleagues by giving a solitary area to remark on, and update statuses of errands. Generally speaking, Asana has been an extraordinary app that has given a huge positive change in the manner we impart and track venture statuses in our group.

It’s So Easy!
What do you like best about the product?
My RAs were hesitant about using Asana at first because, per one of my top RAs, ‘it’s just another piece of technology and I hate having all this technology to keep up with’.
Well, Baby Girl, this is 2019, and gone are the days using paper forms and obnoxiously hounding my staff because I don’t know the progress. I see their progress on team projects, I can congratulate the folks that’re on the ball and get their tasks done, and encourage them to go light a small fire under the butts of the students that’re slacking (and scaring them a little by saying, “it’s better if you hear it come from me rather than Billy because if he finds out you’re behind...he’ll have you in a chokehold during the next staff meeting.”
It helps me heard the cats that are my 18-23 year old ‘adult’ staff, and even the one that was reticent to change and having just another thing to keep up with...she came around and said, “okay, I don’t hate it like I thought I would.” Trust me...that’s high praise coming from that little ray of sunshine and sprinkles.

What do you dislike about the product?
I had some problems getting some tasks assigned...it was a tinge cumbersome and redundant, but once that was out of the way, it was smooth sailing.
